Airwars assessment
Between six and eight civilians including five children and one woman were reportedly killed in an airstrike in the Al Mashhad neighbourhood in Aleppo. Sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible.
Most sources seven civilians died in the attack.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights elaborated on the location of the attack in its report: “Russian fixed-wing warplanes fired missiles that targeted the residential buildings in the vicinity of the Hamza mosque in the Al Mashhad neighborhood, located in Aleppo city and under the control of armed opposition factions, which resulted in the killing of seven individuals; most of whom were from the same family, including five children and one woman.”
However, in a separate post, the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed “government warplanes and its allies”, meaning that regime involvement can’t be definitively ruled out.
Additionally, @SRG_Syria,@jisirtv and @RFS_NORTH, reported the use of explosive barrels by helicopters, a weapon used by the regime.
According to Syriamubasher, several people were injured in the strike.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
